"243 MPs voted in favor of Kamyshyn's resignation as Minister of Strategic Industry.

According to media reports, Kamyshin will not lose his position. According to some sources, he will be appointed deputy head of the President's Office to replace Rostyslav Shurma, who was dismissed yesterday by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

However, Kamyshin himself said he would work in the defense sector, but in a "different role." He will submit two reports in the near future. One report will be secret and will be heard by the Verkhovna Rada Defense Committee and the Committee on Economy. The second report will be open: it will be heard in the Verkhovna Rada, the official said.
